Traveling allows us a unique opportunity to acquire greater understanding of cultures, humanity, and the world around us. This we already know. The effect of taking one's personal practice outside the routine comfort zone can wildly enhance one's perspective of the world and self. Combine the two for a life changing experience.

30 days until the commencement of the next 2016 Heed Yourself Bali Retreat. Can't wait to lead practice and share laughs and breakthroughs in this space. This is what all the planning and prepping leads to - bliss in waiting! Will you be joining us?

A couple spots left. Time is of the essence, just a few weeks away 🤗❤️

Just a kind reminder that if you've been thinking or saying you're coming to the Bali Retreat in October, the early bird prices last a couple more days, so now is the time to act! Lock in those rates with a deposit which will hold your confirmed villa spot and attendance on the best trip adventure and retreat for yourself! It is my strong belief that investment in one's self is the best one will ever make. By being the best versions of ourselves, we are able to give more to the rest of the world and to those we love. You always come first, otherwise you will not be able to put anyone else first. That's how I see it. In other words, never feel guilty for retreating yourself! There will always be reasons not to, but only one reason to go. That reason is YOU.

The theme of this year's retreat, as you know, is Heed Yourself in Bali, and all the details are found on this link www.heedfitness.com/bali, where you can register and hold your spot with the early bird price.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, etc.

Attached is our featured page in LA Yoga Magazine's Retreat & Festivals section. :) I'm honored and stocked to be alongside such talented people hosting events around the globe.

I hope you can join our awesome group - friends for lifetime is really how it always pans out. And, most importantly, an experience for yourself which will change you forever. Truly, just find out for yourself.

This goes out to everyone, but especially to my friend today in need (you know who you are): Believe in the crazy notion that you once rose from the waters to begin walking on two feet. Everything is possible. Keep looking forward and living your dream. What unfolds in between are just the crinkles. The more you walk the smoother the path becomes. Walk on my friends!

Anytime I train, practice, teach, race, or perform at any level, I take a few minutes of going completely inward. First I usually hide (literally) in a place where no one else is around so I can gather my calm. One I arrive in the place where I'm surrounded by noise or distraction before the "event" (performance, race, practice, training, teaching, talking, whatever) occurs, I take another few moments completely to myself walling everything else away. Sometimes I call it focus, sometimes I call it meditation, the result is the same. I think this tool so useful in life that I like to encourage others to try utilizing it before, during, or after quite frankly *anything* in life. You will think better, feel better, do better, and recover better.

This is me about to do an ad hoc performance at the last night of my 2015 retreat at anamaya, with a couple of fractured ribs from a surfing mishap on day 3. I listened to my body before and during and managed to move without pain or strain, rather just expressed what was wanting to happen then and there. I attribute that to this moment of finding my calm and inner focus.
